| 0:00.0 | Have you ever thought to yourself, am I really doing what I should be doing with my life right now? |
| 0:04.5 | Am I making my greatest impact? |
| 0:07.0 | A listener recently asked me something similar to this, and we felt like it was a great topic, |
| 0:11.8 | especially after our recent episode about how Satan wants you to waste your time. |
| 0:16.3 | So today, we're sharing some ways to really discover and spend your time wisely and how to discover |
| 0:22.2 | your purpose and greatest contribution to the world in all seasons of life. |
| 0:33.7 | So a reader or a listener actually wrote me at DM last week, yeah, last Tuesday. And by the way, |
| 0:41.7 | if you ever have a topic that you are curious about or want us to think about podcasting about, |

| 1:29.2 | what I am, quote, supposed to do, unquote. And I thought this was a great question as a follow-up |
| 1:36.1 | to Satan wants you to waste your time. It's super easy to waste our time in all kinds of ways, |
| 1:40.5 | and we've talked about that already. But I thought this was a really good topic to |
| 1:45.6 | discuss about how do you find your purpose and what you should be doing with your time? So |
| 1:50.6 | we had kind of a preliminary conversation about this. And my initial reaction to this girl was |
